Anyone know this r27 f1?

Hi all... 1st post on here.

I've been to look at this car and placed a deposit.

Does anyone know it? It used to have a private plate starting m200.

I'd really appreciate some additional information if anyone has any.

Cheers

If you know the number mate then check the register for it. I found mine that way

Thanks

It's 226/500

Not on the register but it is on the number/colour list.

I test drove that car on Friday with my brother who was looking for a one.

Not sure what you agreed with them but this is the deal i had negotiated with them in principal (so worth screwing them if they hadn't offered this to year):
£6800 (when it was up for £7k)
Swap cambelt
12 Months Test
6 months tax
12 month 'warranty'

My brother went for a blue one in the end which was more the spec he was looking for.

Good luck.

Welcome to the site mate

 

[klem]

Thanks for the welcomes

Cheers for the information Toby.

I am pretty pleased with the deal I managed to negotiate. they are completing a fairly extensive list of minor niggles and discounting the cost of a cambelt change. Its not a job I wanted them doing.

I traded in my wife's runabout too so didn't have the whole cash sale angle

 

[Toby]

Ah well that's good then! Just wanted to make sure you can squeeze them as much as possible.

Glad your happy.

I'm assuming they have the correct timing tools to do the cambelt change?

 

[klem]

Thanks again Toby. I think I'll try and wangle a 12month warranty on the back of the info you posted.

Gam, they are a Suzuki specialist and their level of knowledge on the car didn't fill me with confidence. Also, there is an excellent independent specialist close to where I live.
